my speech about kaigaikenshuu

Before I arrived at Minnesota, one of my dreams was to go to America, because I really like American culture. I have been having a great time with my host family, classes, activities, and so on. Through this home stay program, I generally felt three things.
First, I was surprised by the differences between Japan and America. Take eating habits for example: In Japan, we eat a meal only three times in a day. However I came away with the feeling that American people always eat something. During the time that I have been staying in Minnesota I eat something like pies, ice creams and popcorn although we ate supper two or three hours ago. In Japan, it’s impossible. And when I went to TARGET, also I was surprised, because all of the groceries are big size and there’re many kinds of grocery!! Therefore I was excited only watching them at the grocery store.
Next, I learned about indirect and direct keenly. American people often use direct expression. Conversely speaking, Japanese people have to use the expression in America. For example, when I wanted to be alone, I said to my host sister, “I’m tired.” She knew what I said yet didn’t know the real meaning. If she were Japanese, she would leave my room.
Thirdly, I could change myself by this program. Before I came in America, I had already known that American students are active in their classes. Actually I’m shy person, therefore I couldn’t be active in my class when I was in japan. However I could ask some questions to teachers, and speak English in classes aggressively like American students. After I go back to japan, I want to be active in my classes.
Finally, everything is my valuable experience, so I’ll never forget my special memories!! I can’t possibly put my gratitude into my words. Especially I’m thankful to my host family. Since I met them, I had spent many wonderful days. And I became more mature because of their help. I love my host family. They treated me like a part of family. Besides, I would like to say “Thank you so much!!” to Joel, Linda, Peggy, Katie, Jeff, Brenda and my parents!! I’m grateful to them for helping me. I would like to come back to Minnesota again! Thank you for everything!!!
Love you. (387)

something special i did during the vacation

My special thing I did during summer vacation was to go to America. One of my dreams was to go to America, because I really like American cultures. I had been exciting to go to America. I had had a great time with my host family, classes and activities at Minnesota. Actually, I had been to England to study and homestay about five years ago. But then, I didn't interest English. And now, I really have interest English. My host family treated me a part of their family, and they took me anywhere like mall, and camp. And I could make American friends. I had wanted to have American friend like teenager. So I was fun!!! My American friend (119)

good and bad points about summer

I think there are many bad points about summer, because I don’t like summer. Summer is very hot, especially our home town, Kumamoto is very humid. And there are many mosquitoes. Therefore it’s difficult to live in summer and we can’t live comfortably. In addition, we want to live comfortably, so we often use an air conditioner. These have a bad effect on the environment. On the other hand, we can’t live comfortably, so we often go to sea or river for cool. I think it is one of good points about summer. It’s fun and comfortable to swim at sea or river. And we have a long vacation in summer, so we are free to do and think about schedule. We can do (124)

how i study during the vacation

I have been to America during summer vacation. And then, we took classes and studied English at there, and I always had to speak English at my host family's house. Therefore I could learn new expressions in English. I can study English in Japan, but I can't study "real English". My host sister was seven years old girl. She always taught me correct English. She was my teacher. Actually, I was scared my wrong English. But my host father said to me "you don't have to scare your English. You have to speak English more", and then I realized. I want to speak English more fluently, so I decided to speak English more. When my mind was changed, I became fun to speak English. when I (126)

my vacation plans

I went to Minnesota in this summer. Therefore my vacation plan was the home stay program.
I participated in Kaigaikenshuu. And I had wanted to be sub leader, so I became it. We usually go to Bethel university in morning, take ESL class, listen to some American people, and join in some activities in noon. At the end of the week, my host family took me for some place like mall, fishing, and so on. In ESL class, we were divided into two classes, and we learned about American cultures. Peggy who is our teacher was funny teacher. Sometimes, we played game by using English. She showed us some picture of America. And after we take ESL class, we listen to American people's (122)
